Answer:

Under a special microscope, the chromosomes can look like a continuous string of beads. Each long string of DNA winds around structural protein spools called 'histones' to form a material called 'chromatin'. The chromatin further loops and coils to form the tightly condensed chromosome structure.

Answer:

  • Genes are genetic building blocks.
  • Chromatin is a lower order packing form of DNA
  • Chromosomes are a higher order packing form with tight condensed structures.

Explanation:

1) Gene:-

  • The fundamental component of heredity in a living organism is a gene.
  • Genes determine every aspect of a living thing's character.
  • Genes provide the information needed to develop and maintain an organism's cells, as well as transmit genetic features onto progeny.
  • A gene is currently understood to be "a locatable portion of the genomic sequence, corresponding to a unit of heredity, which is associated with regulatory regions, transcribed regions, and/or other functional sequence sections."

2) Chromatin:-

  • The chromosome in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells is made up of chromatin, a complex DNA and protein molecule.
  • In meiosis and mitosis, it is often condensed into chromosomes and is scattered throughout the interphase nucleus.

3) Chromosomes:-

  • The DNA molecule is bundled into thread-like structures known as chromosomes in the nucleus of each cell.
  • It has genetic material that carries genetic information that is encoded and passed down from parents to an progeny.
